News Stories

The following labor guidance was shared in the Aug. 27 edition of Principal's Digest.


  • Tuesday, Sept. 3, and Wednesday, Sept. 4: These are Chancellor’s Conference Days and the workday is 6 hours and 50 minutes for teachers, paraprofessionals and lab specialists. On one of the days, the day shall be utilized first and foremost for preparation of the classroom and for the arrival of students. If time permits, the remainder of that day may be utilized for professional development. Other school-based titles work their normal length of day on both days.
    Parent-Teacher Conferences: Please review the calendar for dates: All evening PTCs (including Meet the Staff Night, Curriculum Night, etc.) shall be conducted remotely unless a school has an SBO for an in-person conference. All afternoon PTCs shall be conducted remotely provided that staff are able to
    commute home/alternative location in time to participate in the conferences.
  • For related-service providers: Related-service providers all create their own schedules, based on students’ instructional programs and subject to supervisory approval. Staff schedules should reflect the employee’s assignments and roles and
    responsibilities and may include up to 55 minutes per week for
    administrative work that may be conducted remotely. The schedule and time allotted for remote work is subject to supervisory review and approval.

For more information, please review the entire item as it was published in Principal's Digest.
